PSA: My lawyer told me to settle a shareholder dispute for $15,000 and I said no

I had a minority shareholder in my small business who kept pushing for a buyout at an inflated price. My attorney at Smith & Associates said to just pay the $15k to avoid litigation costs. I pushed back and took it to a bench trial in Larimer County, and the judge sided with me completely - ended up paying nothing. Has anyone else had a lawyer give advice that felt too quick to settle?

Hard to say without knowing the full story though.
